Top Tips on the new Building Safety Act

We knew that there would be some additional guidance and regulations following the awful Grenfell fire in 2017.

New building safety act

It would seem the new Building Safety Act is targeting fire safety in a much deeper way.

There has been additional sections added on many of the accreditations that I support my clients with and some of these questions are as follows:

  • How do you ensure your staff are aware of the fire procedures

  • What training is carried out

  • Provide the training information

  • Provide dates of reviews

  • Provide systems for protecting 3rd party, contractors and visitors

  • Provide guidance on your procedures if staff do not follow the rules

  • Provide hot work procedures

  • Provide staff meeting minutes

  • Provide signed and dated tool box talk training sessions

  • Document fire emergency plans.

So a much more in-depth set of questions.
